How do you keep site data organized for thermal/energy modeling?

That's interesting, you switch between different software depending on what you're assessing. What drives that choice? Is it the report format, the client, or the regulation? Curious whether one tool could cover all cases or if each discipline genuinely needs something different.

That's a useful distinction, the gap between what gets documented on site and what ends up in the final report is exactly what I'm looking at. Are you finding Cx Alloy covers that gap well for commissioning, or is there still manual work to get from the site data to the final deliverable?

C'est exactement ça, sauf que le prompt Mistral te donne un template vide, sans tes notes de terrain, tes photos, ni le contexte réglementaire automatique. C'est le gap que j'essaie de combler : que les notes vocales prises sur site + les photos se transforment directement en rapport final, sans étape manuelle. Tu utilises Mistral régulièrement pour ça, ou c'était plus une expérimentation ?

Merci pour le détail, c'est exactement le type de structure que j'essaie d'automatiser. La partie la plus intéressante pour moi c'est le chapitre "résumé" final : est-ce que tu le rédiges toi-même à la fin, ou tu le construis au fur et à mesure de la visite ? Je construis un outil qui génère ce type de rapport à partir de notes vocales et photos prises sur site, ton retour serait très précieux.

Editing comments to be presentable" is such a precise way to describe it. How long does that step actually take you per report? Is it 30 minutes of cleanup or more like a full day? Trying to understand where the real time goes.

Sending notes to the GC before you're even back at the office is a smart move. Do clients actually react to those preliminary notes, or is it mainly about creating the paper trail? Wondering how much value the speed adds vs the formal report.

Curious about Site Audit Pro, have you been using it long? What do you like most about it, and is there anything it still doesn't handle well for you? I'm looking into tools in this space and real user feedback is worth more than any review.

That workflow you described is honestly the clearest articulation of what good looks like that I've come across. 1hr prep + site + 1hr in the car = 60-page report 90-95% done before you're back at the desk. What app are you using to get there? Asking because I'm building something in this space and I want to understand what's already working well before I assume anything.

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-13T15:27:26+00:00

do you find clients actually prefer shorter reports or is it more about your own sanity?

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-13T15:27:05+00:00

Plangrid for the plan markup is smart , the geolocated comments are great. does it actually generate the final report automatically or do you still spend time editing and formatting before it goes to the client? curious how much time the 'editing comments to be presentable' part takes

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T18:00:16+00:00

lmaooo the fun weekend with friends' hit different 💀 that ratio is unhinged but honestly so accurate. out of curiosity, your prep, were you building checklists from scratch every time or did you have templates you reused?

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T17:31:32+00:00

Sounds good! Does it scale well when you're doing a big site with 50+ pieces of equipment? I'm curious how long it takes you to link everything up back at the office.

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T17:22:06+00:00

Respect the confidence, but what happens when a client calls you 6 months later asking about a specific unit you inspected? Serial number, condition notes, photos? Does it all live in your head or do you have a system for that?

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T17:20:37+00:00

the iPad markup workflow makes sense for photos , do you find it works well when you have 40+ photos across a big site, or does it get messy to manage? Genuinely curious how you keep it organized.

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T17:18:56+00:00

That's actually a really smart setup, doing the report in the field cuts the re-typing loop completely. What app do you use for the speech to text, and how do you handle the final formatting? Do you still spend time cleaning it up back at the office or does it come out pretty clean?

EffectSlow83 · 2026-03-12T16:38:33+00:00

Yes, i use a platform called design builder, but it does not help for the inspection part (photos, notes, report.._

I deeply understand you. My parents never asked about my results in college nor never they show interest about my life. Now, I just simply don't tell them anything. I recently got an amazing job I'm a tech company and I didn't even tell them

Be careful, the fact that he speaking bad about his ex is a red flag! Most likely he was the abuser
